WHO WE ARE

GISHRU is a life changing journey to Assyria dedicated to connecting Assyrians living in the ancestral Homeland with Assyrians throughout the Diaspora, to preserving the vast Assyrian history, culture, and archaeological wonders, and ultimately, strengthening the Assyrian identity.

We believe that the connections made today will lead to a prosperous future for the Assyrian Nation.

Assyrians are the indigenous people of Assyria (modern day Iraq, southeast Turkey, northwest Iran and northeast Syria).

“GISHRU” means “Bridge” in the Assyrian language. It is our duty to bridge the ideas, resources, and beliefs of Assyrians worldwide all in unity of one common goal of preserving the culture, tradition and history of one of the first civilizations of the world.

Our Projects

GISHRU supports a variety of programs in our Homeland through our partner, the Assyrian Aid Society. GISHRU is a 501(c)(3) charitable, tax-deductible organization. Click on a campaign below to learn more.

The Assyrian IDP Camp "Udrana" is in need to fulfill its monthly utility obligations to the Assyrians that have been living in caravans since 2014. This camp was created in 2014 by the Assyrian Aid Society for the Assyrians that were displaced by ISIS. Although many have returned to their lands in the Nineveh Plain following the expulsion of ISIS, some have remained in the IDP Camp as their homes are still not habitable such as those from Mosul or Batnaya. This money will be used to cover 1 month of the gas supply for the generator that provides electricity for the 38 families that are currently living there. Most of the monthly costs of the Assyrian IDP camp are covered by the Assyrian Aid Society-Iraq.
